Barnes' Notes
Keep me from the snares ... - See the notes at Psalms 11:6. Compare Psalms 38:12; Psalms 69:22; Psalms 91:3. The secret plans which they have laid against me.
And the gins of the workers of iniquity - Wicked men; men who seek my destruction. On the word gins, see the notes at Isaiah 8:14. The gin is a trap or snare to catch birds or wild animals. The word used here is the same which occurs in Psalms 18:5, and which is there rendered "snare." See the notes at that passage. Compare also Psalms 64:5; Psalms 69:22; Psalms 106:36; Psalms 140:5, where the same word occurs.
